Scientists at UCLA have constructed the world's smallest light bulb. When it's turned off, the tiny filament is invisible to the naked eye. Flip the switch, however, and it becomes a tiny pin-prick of light. The minuscule bulb was created using carbon nanotube technology, a much touted scientific breakthrough that has, until now, been used to do little else other than create portraits of our ...

We thought that we had heard the last from the doom-sayers about the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), but of course leave it to that bastion of high-quality journalism, Fox News, to find a research paper that slightly contradicts accepted scientific assumptions about the LHC and twist them into prophecies of world-ending catastrophe. A new study from three scientists, Roberto Casadio of the ...

This story gets a little heady and, to be honest, we're not entirely sure we completely understand it ourselves. What we do know is that scientists have made a huge advancement in the field of teleportation, taking a step necessary to the development of quantum computers. Scientists managed to teleport information from one atom to another from a distance of about one meter. While this isn't really ...
